Son of Frederick and Mary Jane FLICK, Byron Bay, New South Wales
It ia very sad to know that Pte. F. W. Flick spent some weeks in a hospital fighting a severe attack of pneumonia, and recovering, was only two days in the firing line when he was killed in action. The news of his death was a very severe shock to his parents, as they were just rejoicing in his restoration to health. Official condolence were concveyed to Mr. Flick of deep sympathy from King and Queen and Commonwealth Government in the loss he and the Army had sustained.
